I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...
the cast offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope,
fear and pain,
sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry. "God," I said, "this is terrible!
Why don't you do something?"
God was silent for a moment
and then He spoke softly.
"I have done something." He replied.
"I created you."

The art even has the Adopt-a-Pet.com name on it (on the dog's tag), so everyone who sees it will know where to go to find your adoptable pets.

Columbus Dog Connection - Columbus Dog Connection is a 501c3, limited admission dog rescue organization. We formed in 1998. We are a network of dog enthusiasts who rescue all breeds of dogs and puppies.
Our pooches are rescued from abandonment/abuse situations and we assist shelters/humane societies by taking dogs from death row. Every dog that leaves our care is spayed/neutered, including 8 week old pups. We believe that allowing a pup to leave our care not spayed/neutered would perpetuate the problem we work so hard to overcome every day.
Shepherd Haven - Shepherd Haven provides a lifeline to German Shepherd Dogs with stable temperaments facing euthanasia in shelters throughout Ohio. We are a nonprofit, home-based group in the central Ohio area. Our dogs come from area shelters or are owner surrenders.
